About this year’s festival workshops:

Workshop information will be updated as it continues to be created. This year, we tentatively have scheduled Rhythm and Strum patterns, Blues, Bluegrass, playing in multiple positions and open strum classes offered.

Festivals are great experiences where you can learn from your instructor as well as the friends you make during the day. Review the class levels and determine where you will be fit.

Course material will be available for download. There will be no printed copies provided by the festival. Each course will have a description as well as a link to the downloadable class agenda and music. Participants are responsible for having their own copies of music for each class they take.

WORKSHOP INFORMATION & HANDOUTS

What’s your level?

These ukulele workshop levels have been taken from a magazine article by Heidi Swedberg. Thanks Heidi!!

Level 1: Beginner
Welcome! You are a new uke player and have already played with others or taken a few lessons. The beginning player is new to the uke (1-3 months), knows some basic, first position chords. You are fluent with (at least) your C, F, and G7, can make chord changes easily as well as keep a beat.

Level 2: Intermediate
Now you’re a player, but chord diagrams over the words are still a must. Your job here is to master B-flat, get some strums under your belt and grow into your instrument—this is when you truly learn how to practice

Level 3: Experienced Intermediate
You know a bunch of chords and are ready to use them. Challenge yourself with some exciting techniques, and maybe venture further up the neck. Be proud of yourself, this is a fine plateau to reach.
